In a statement issued by the Company, Oyeyimika Adeboye, its Managing Director, attributed Cadbury Nigeria’s net revenue growth of 27.7 percent versus same period in the previous year, to strong sales execution, focused brand building, and tactical trade and consumer activities across the country.
However, the statement noted that businesses operating in Nigeria continued to face tough
challenges, with rising inflation and devaluation, leading to higher manufacturing and operational cost.
Despite recording an operating profit of N6.072billion, this performance was significantly
impacted by the recent devaluation of the Naira.
“We shall continue to remain resilient and innovative to navigate the challenging operating
environment,” Adeboye said.
